we started horrible and missed about 65 open baskets. we are bout to BODYBAG THESE FOOLS. DESTROY THEM

 

[cuseattle]

We got this!

 

[tee1222]

Here we are -- in the Sweet 16 -- and we are praising Frank Howard and Tyler Roberson for keeping us alive at half -- who saw this coming in January?

I think Cooney has some magic/goodkarma/greatmojo coming this half.

 

[weepeel]

Lyndon is doing a lot on the defensive end...however he needs to give our offense a spark...mali is stinking it up on both ends bigtime.

Frank Howard is showing similarities to MCW

 

[UelSU]

Mal has been missing in action since Dayton. What is going on?

 

[Dave85]

Keep swarming sabonis.

The triple team at the end on one of their guards was a work of art!

 

[JarHeadJim]

Or at least make one basket!

WORD!

 

[CorduroyG]

If we hit some 3s in 2nd half we win. Cooney, g, mali, lydon, someone gotta knock a few down.

 

[tee1222]

And there it is. Zags turnovers. Roberson rebounds. Now, one of Coon/Mali/Lydon draining shots and we wake the heckfire up!

YEAH!!

 

[thebigeast44]

Just like the first 2 games - bad first halves and hopefully another great 2nd half- Let's Go Orange!

Mal has been missing in action since Dayton. What is going on?

He's been a streaky guy all year.

The good thing is he's capable of sucking for a long time and then suddenly burying 2-3 threes in a row.

his moment is coming

 

[doc05]

coleman needs to give some good minutes... i think he will

I don't think this is a good matchup for him at all. Rather just stay with Lydon in the middle.

 

[Ghost]

Malachi looks nervous. Missing at the rim. Shot is way off. Making bad decisions. Lydon too. We missed at least 3 layups at the rim. Great chance to grab lead and Howard takes a stupid shot. But lucky to be in the game down only 1 as bad as we played. Hope we settle down in 2nd half.

Eh, it's not a stupid shot.

Honestly, you have a timeout to burn, you don't want that, call a timeout to chat with your PG that's never finished a half this year.

Otherwise, put it in G's hands - or you live with that. Under 10 seconds, the ball handler is going to look for the cutter, if he's not there, and the jumper is open, you're going to take it with the cutter hitting the boards and Roberson underneath. It's not like he can pull it out and reset.

G should have come out and taken the ball IMO.

 

[Dave85]

And there it is. Zags turnovers. Roberson rebounds. Now, one of Coon/Mali/Lydon draining shots and we wake the heckfire up!

We need heckfire instead of backfire!

 

[SaltLakeOrange]

We've played better in the second half all tourney. I like our chances.

 

[Orangemen]

I'll be honest, I've felt like this kid is a star for a while.

MCW was nothing as a fresh, then blew up. Ennis obviously came from nowhere.

If this team is as good as it looks like it could be next year, he's got a chance to get drafted. Kids a player.

That's the 2nd time you blew my mind. That rhymed and you know it did.

 

[Dave85]

his moment is coming

My moment in the bathroom is coming. Who's idea was it to drink beer before the game!

 

[weepeel]

We don't have anyone in foul trouble that is huge...I thought Lyndon or Coleman would get called for cheap fouls on sabonis

 

[jdubs30]

Mal has been missing in action since Dayton. What is going on?

he actually hit some big shots in the 2nd half vs. MTSU --- Mali will get his. It will c ome down to our D

 

[Orange2389]

I don't think this is a good matchup for him at all. Rather just stay with Lydon in the middle.

he can tire out their big men... draw some fouls

 

[Madbiker]

Jimmy screaming at Howard for taking that last shot. Sure that wasn't the play.

 

[CuseFaninVT]

Without the jump passes to start the fast break the other way.

Still drinking brandy!
